The target pad (10) includes a resilient pad member (12) which defines a first portion (14) having a curvilinear outline preferably shaped to resemble the head of a human being, and a sleeve portion (26). The sleeve portion (26) and the first portion (14) define an opening (30) which receives the hand and wrist of a wearer. The pad is preferable provided with a cover (58) which assists in preventing the pad from tearing during use. In the preferred embodiment, the opening (30) which receives the hand and wrist is ventilated by a suitable port (56) which extends to the external surface of the pad, allows air to be received within the opening in which the hand is inserted. | |
